5 unforgettable incidents from South Africa- Australia Test matches

#3 When Dale Steyn was called a 'cheat'

Call Dale Steyn what you want, but not a cheat

Dale Steyn is regarded not just as one of the best fast bowlers to have walked Planet Earth, but one of the fairest blokes to have played the game.

However, tempers boiled over on Australia's tour to South Africa in 2014, when the then visiting captain Michael Clarke allegedly called the South African fast bowler a 'cheat' in the third Test of the series at Cape Town.

There is no concrete evidence that Steyn was labelled that by Clarke, but Protean commentator Neil Manthorp did reveal that was possibly the case in a later interview with the Supersport website.

Post the conclusion of the game, one which Australia won, both players were seen shaking hands and the former stopped for an additional second and was overheard to have said 'sorry' to the Protean quick.

The latter gave the former a nod and a pat before moving on in the line.
